Sun sets every day
Sun sets every day, said Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez
Oxlaj, yet the Maya never let the flame go out. "We
are the torch that carry's the spiritual light through
the night." His Maya name, Wakatel Utiw translates as
wandering wolf. The voice of the jungle, "my destiny
is to be here with you."
"We, the spiritual guides, we Elders, do not think
about ourselves," said Shaman Don Alejandro and his
wife Elizabeth Araujo. Elders only think of the animals
and the trees, the air and the water, the children and
the grandchildren. To reveal the words of spirit, to
bring the message of universal respect.
Thus they have come to share that message with every
tribe, every nation. Now, at this time of the ending
of the Fourth Sun, the cycling of the Long Count, and
the infinite contamination of our Mother, Earth. As
Elizabeth Araujo translated, the contamination of our
Mother is now so universal, so widespread, complete
and deep, "it has piled to the top of the atmosphere,
the top of the world, and the bottom of every ocean."
The world's rivers, the pulsing veins that throughout
the previous ages, delivered the life-blood of humanity
and the Earth, have gone dry. They are dead. Our forests
have been turned to desert. The land and the mountains
cry, and scream out, in pain, shedding only dry tears.
The voice of spirit, Mother's breath, the wind, has
become hot choking dust.
"Our planet is covered in a veil of sadness ... Take
our message to the entire world ... Those who weep *NOW*
will find solutions tomorrow! All things are written ...
Go to the center."
Coming together is our only solution. As Don Alejandro
repeated again and again, "I am Maya. My part is to do
the Maya. I can only DO Maya. Only you can do YOUR culture.
Your part is of YOUR culture. You will only DO your part."
The Maya are Maya, the Dineh are Dineh, and the Maori
are Maori.
Somos Muchos, Somos Uno -- We Are Many, We Are One
Rosa Maria Cabrera and the Elders are sharing ceremonies
with all peoples. They are sharing the Prophecy of the
Eagle and the Condor. Rosa Maria said, "The People of
the Center will unite the People of the Eagle, of the
North, with the People of the Condor, the South." This
message, as all the messages the Elders are sharing, means
different things to different peoples. For the consumer
civilization it means that the intellectual insights of
science and industry, in abstraction from nature, can now
be combined with the true-knowing- heart of divine nature,
of a life in harmony with the living. The global spirit
of the aboriginal peoples united with the technological
peoples will now become ten times greater, the
prophecized golden age of the Fifth Sun.
The Prophecy equally tells of this time, five hundred
years AFTER the beginning of the genocide, when all native
peoples of North America can rejoin in diversity and
respect, with all native peoples of South America. [Hands
connected through the People of the Middle, of Central
America.]
The message of the 'Ending' of the current Long Count,
of the Year 2012 (actually 2011 as Wakatel Utiw relates)
is actually a message of our individual and global
rebirths.
"An honoring of diversity, a celebration of one-ness,
happening NOW! [A dance already begun.]
Together we must acknowledge the global horror, sing
out the global forgiveness, share in the global healing.
"We must all scream together," sang Don Alejandro.
Un Mundo, Un Chillido -- One World, One Scream
Chille Juntos -- Scream Together
